Has this right wing claim been discussed here yet ?
The main page looks to be a far right wing deal but
what are the facts regarding the so called story ?



ASSEMBLYMAN JOHN CAMPBELL claims Democrats Blocked Independence Day
Celebration

Friday, July 2, 2004
In each of the 4 years that I have been a member of the state Assembly, we have had
many "celebrations" on the Assembly floor. These "celebrations" are orchestrated by the
Democrats who control the House and often involve singing and dancing. Every one of my 4
years have seen substantial celebrations of Cinco de Mayo (Commemorates the Mexican
victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla), St. Patrick's Day (for the patron Saint of
Ireland) and Chinese New Year's Day, among others. But never once have we celebrated
America's Independence Day, the 4th of July.

1. Of course, he doesn't bother to mention what the ceremony was gonna be
which would have been relevant, since he DID say that the dems disagreed with the spirit of the ceremony he offered.

An op-ed piece like this is shit until we know all the facts, and he is disingenuous (that is, truly republican) by not offering facts.
